Best 4 1/2" Angle Grinder for 'A' body work

[PetesPonies]

I have been using my Craftsman 4 1/2 grinder since the late 80s. And I use it in my business, meaning often and hard It started to show signs of brush problems . . so I just bought a new Craftsman. I still kept it though . . never know. I bet the new Craftsman won't last as long, but I sure like it.

Osh is having a black friday sale until monday, milwaukee AND makita 50% off. I just bought another 4" angle grinder for $29.99 and got another 10% off becuase it was a floor model.

I have a Makita 4" (getting real hard to find wire wheels) and a DeWalt 4 1/2". I love all my DeWalt tools. While my Makita has lasted many years I prefer the DeWalt. I have the larger DeWalt grinder too. That thing will tear you apart! Tons of power.

dewalts are good but bosh is best less vibration and the wieght and shape of the body fit the hand very well

I have had good luck with older B&D's and now I have some Makita's. I believe they are the aluminum head style.

I built an entire jeep with a Harbor Freight one, if I didn't use them so often I would buy another, but they will fail you at some point. Mine the whole metal nose housing shattered.

Sears has a 19.2V cordless one I would love to try since my cordless tools are all Craftsman I would have multiple batteries.
